I am grateful to your site I am in the process of composing a history of Crosslanes Chapel . What little I have been able to find so far along with a nearly complete record of burials can be found on my web site rosevilla.info

Although it's amazing what you can find out with a few clicks of the mouse, its kind of reassuring to know that we've still a long, long way to go before everything's online. Glad it was worth the trip.

After returning to Hampshire Record Office last Saturday and re-examining the records available I found that my husband's great great great great aunt and her husband were founding members together with Mr and Mrs Mist, Mr John Ings mason and Mr and Mrs Henry Ballard shoemaker and shopkeeper respectively. Edmund Goodridge and Mary nee Dowding were shepherd and shepherd,s wife. When two of their children and Mary died in 1855, and 1859 respectively, they were all buried at Ibsley parish church because the burial ground not in use.

Thanks Marianne. Very interesting. According to the National Register of Archives site some of the records are now with the Hampshire Record Office, and quick search of their site turned the information I've now included above.

The chapel was paid for and built by Mr. Arthur Mist of Ibsley in 1851. My husband's great great grandmother was a founding member of the chapel and a year later the domestic servant of Mrs Mist became a member. She was to become my husband's great grandmother. The last Dowding to become a member from our line of the family was my father-in-law who subsequently became a member of the Church of England just weeks before his death in September 1963. The chapel is now a Baptist Church and most of the records are held by the minister Aaron Lewis.
